Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been around, I've been busy with my other passion. I belong to a couple great fishing organizations and we're doing our part to keep the fishery alive.
I thought ya'll might like to see what I do when I'm not sailing.
When we put them in teh pens in December they averaged 1.3 lbs., now they're in the 3-4 lb. range.
Next week we'll tow the pens out to the middle of the lake and open the gates.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Well, we turned the fish loose last Wednsday. 500 each, Rainbows and Browns. Now I get to go see if I trained them right.
The boats all packed, the van and motorhome are ready to roll, and I'm outa here day after tomorrow for a few days. Our fishing club has a 3 day gathering starting Friday but I'm not coming home 'till the stores run out.

A friend of mine and I used to fish in stocked rivers in Missouri. I made up some flies that look like the pellet feed the hatcheries use to feed the trout in the pens... and we'd just catch them by the dozens... some one asked what kind of fly were were using, and I didn't have the heart to tell them...

Good idea,,LOL. I've got a few Brown Wooly Buggers tied up, they kinda look like pellets. I do this for fun though, I'm not much af a trout eater(unless I smoke'em). Now, kokanee are a different story, excellent table fare.
I'm just happy I get to go sailing, it's be damn near a month.
